Flying 'F' Farms Airport

Change in land use for economic reasons. The property was converted to a more intensive agricultural operation. The installation of large, circular center-pivot irrigation systems for farming made maintaining a straight, unobstructed runway impossible. This is a common reason for the closure of private farm strips as agricultural practices evolve.

The site is currently an active agricultural farm. The area of the former north-south runway is now completely covered by several large, circular fields cultivated using center-pivot irrigation. While a faint linear 'scar' of the old runway is still visible from satellite imagery cutting across the fields, it is no longer an aviation surface and is actively farmed.

The airport had no major public or military historical significance. It was a private, un-charted turf airstrip, likely used exclusively by the farm's owners for personal and business-related aviation. Its operations would have been typical for a private farm strip, including recreational flying, personal transportation, and potentially aerial farm surveys. The identifier 'US-10193' is not an official ICAO code (which start with 'K' in the contiguous US) but an internal designator used by non-governmental aviation databases. Its absence from historical aeronautical charts confirms its status as a private, un-charted field.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The significant capital investment in the agricultural irrigation infrastructure on the site makes a conversion back to an airfield economically unfeasible. The airport is considered permanently closed.
